tion of the commands necessary to create these entries:
hp:\
:sh:pw#80:mx#0\
:lp=/dev/spike.com2:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/spike/com2:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/spike/com2/log:\
:af=/usr/spool/lpd/spike/com2/acct:\
:if=/usr/spool/lpd/spike/com2/npr.if:
where hp is the printer name sending jobs to the M208 named spike through the inter-
face file npr.if.
To create these entries, please do the following:
1 Create the printer’s spooling directory and associated files.
cd /usr/spool/lpd
mkdir spike
mkdir spike/com2
touch spike/com2/log spike/com2/acct
chown -R daemon.daemon spike
chmod -R g+rwX,o+rX spike
2 Copy the nprbsd.if file from the host software medium to the spooling directory.
Copy the file as npr.if or name it something more meaningful.
cp nprbsd.if /usr/spool/lpd/spike/com2/npr.if
cd /usr/spool/lpd/spike/com2
chown daemon.daemon npr.if
chmod g+rwX,o+rX npr.if
3 Edit the npr.if variables to suit your system environment. Look for the comment

comment block, you will find these:
When defining these variables, remember that each is case sensitive. Please define
them as seen in these descriptions. In addition, a further description of these vari-
ables is included in the large comment block before them.
